Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Politely Declined (Human Ear Music 2007) Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Scared Famous / Human Ear Music Ariel Marcus Rosenberg aka Ariel Pink is one of the most baffling figures in music. Just large enough for freak-folks the world over to know him, but just small enough to still be something of a secret, Rosenberg has built a weird aura of strange 70s soundtracks and lo-fi, vinyl-ripped 80s TV jingles. He's a master of melody and a bard of bubbly psych-pop, but still [...]

However, every once in a while he comes up with something so eerily affecting and near-brilliant that it renders his inconsistency and general [...]

An uneven but nonetheless charming collection of miscellaneous tape recordings from the king of the sequined gutter himself. Sacred Famous was amassed from bits of tapes made around the same time as House Arrest and while, some of the scraps may well have remained hidden there are certainly enough gems in this to make it worth checking out. Pink, ever the master of using the lack of studio as an instrument (kind of the Anti-Eno as it were) wields tape hiss in deadly fashion and obscures pop trappings in debris thick enough to make you think [...]
This guy was like, the it band of this time last year. But it's still worth a mention, and it's still possible that you haven't heard of him. Ariel Pink is an AM-style lo-fi artist, with an emphasis on the AM part. It's more than just the fidelity of his recordings; his songs, and this one is a prime example, are crafted melody pop, a revise on 60's Top-40 pop rock. But Ariel Pink is not a 60's pop rock artist. He's a challenging, loose kind of musician, drifting [...]
